Where are the insiders

[hopsondawg22]

There?s a rumor floating around Starkville and I?m surprised it hasn?t made its way here.

[VandelayIndustries]

How about you tell us

[Hambone]

It’s only half true.

[Virgil Caine]

Is this what you?re referring to? https://mobile.twitter.com/PJ247Sports/status/1299100073129897984

Anyone have any details?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good for them. But I guess as quiet as this has been, this demonstration isn't worth it. I mean, if you are going to do this, you better be out there publicizing that you are striking. Otherwise, does a tree that falls in a forest make a sound if no one hears it?

[bostondawg]

Players are tweeting about it.

Here's the thing ALL athletes need to remember. No matter what sport or what team. If they choose not to play these sports leagues will find people that will play because they are out there and will be very happy for the opportunity. And yes, fans will cheer those players because we cheer for the name on the front not the back.

Just typical athlete arrogance. I watch to see the CARDINALS or the BULLDOGS play. I don't watch sports to watch this specific player. Now I certainly have players I like to watch but when Albert Pujols left the Cardinals I didn't become an Angels fan. I still pull for the Cardinals.

Hell, I'm glad Dexter Fowler sat out last night because the guy that replaced him got the key hit to tie the game and debatably should be playing over him anyway.

And another thing- if they REALLY thought that protesting was going to eliminate all of the world's problems- they need to get a dose of reality. Because right or wrong there are good and bad people out there and people do the wrong things sometimes. And no amount of looting is going to EVER stop that. All you can do is control yourself and do as much right as you can.

Isn’t this what Moorhead did when he took them to the water park?

@OP, please update the thread title and first post to provide more details. I'm sure lots of people are confused. This could be a hot topic thread so make sure it's high quality.

My recommendation is to lock it, there is no way this thread will end well.

Players are using their leverage to do these type of things. Until fans stop paying to watch them play or watching them on TV it won’t do anything but get worse. I will be calling in the morning to opt out of my tickets that I originally opted in for. I don’t know if I will be allowed to do that or not. It’s already going to be a subpar game day experience and I can use that money elsewhere. If things continue down this road I will eventually completely stop watching sports. I’ve already stopped watching the nba and MLB. It’s tougher with football because it’s my favorite sport but I won’t continue to cheer for people who embarrass me. I don’t imagine anyone will really care but it doesn’t mean I have to continue to put up with it.

They are boycotting against themselves... smh

[confucius say]

Nothing wrong with calling attention to social injustice and racial issues. I'm sure practice will resume tomorrow

I just hope they aren't doing this over Jacob Blake. That would be a strange reason to protest.

Well why do you think they are doing it if Blake has nothing to do with it???

[confucius say]

I have no idea what they are doing. Would love the opportunity to ask them though and have a real dialogue about bigger picture issues. I would hope they are informed about the facts of the Blake situation. I hope our coaches and administrators are doing just that.

[Commercecomet24]

It was about Blake. Not everyone was on board with the boycott either.

[MarcoRubio]

I?m not going to work tomorrow. Boycotting that shat. Did my employer have anything to do with a dude getting shot in Wisconsin? Hell no. Does that matter? Hell no.

I?m gone teach somebody a lesson though.

Seriously, 17 sports. I?m at an all time low for interest. Squarely on the fence of saying 17 it and moving on. Slight breeze in that direction and I?m out. Only thing holding me in at the moment is my kids love for all things MSU. That?s wavering.

Liberals ruin everything they touch. They are a disease.

[Dawgface]

It was about Blake. Not everyone was on board with the boycott either.

And not all fans are on board with this crap either. I'm close to being done with all sports.

[Thick]

Why doesn?t all of the black communities boycott the senseless killings in Chicago?

This site is freaking awesome:

heyjackass.com

Real time murder stats for Chicago. It?s unreal how detailed this site is, and they add little humor to it as well. If you are a human being, regardless of color, you cannot help but question what the hell is going on!!

Lol for real? Dude had a knife, resisted arrest, and was going to his car to get his weapon. There’s going to be a lot of silence when the body cam is released in about a week.
